Following a brief hiatus, the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) is resuming its activities in other parts of the country.
Despite the fact that the proposed meeting on February 17 had to be postponed due to the Model Code of Conduct due to the MLC elections in the State, the party leadership is expected to go ahead with its public meetings in other States.
Over the last two months, the BRS has held two massive rallies in Khammam, Telangana, and Nanded, Maharashtra, both of which drew a large crowd. The leaders of the BRS intend to replicate the same by organising similar mega rallies in other neighbouring states over the next three to four months, with dates to be determined.
As a result, the party has scheduled additional meetings in Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, Karnataka, Delhi, and Hyderabad.
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin, Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren, Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav and JD (U) national president Rajiv Ranjan Singh, along with Dr BR Ambedkar’s grandson and social activist-politician Prakash Ambedkar, were scheduled to attend the meeting at Parade Grounds in Hyderabad.
It was, however, postponed along with the inauguration of the State Secretariat due to the implementation of the MLC election code in the State. While it has been decided to inaugurate the State Secretariat on April 14 marking the birth anniversary of BR Ambedkar, the party sources said they were working on the guests to attend the inaugural ceremony and the BRS public meeting, based on their scheduled programs.

A few guests had already confirmed their attendance, while others had yet to do so. “The public meetings at Visakhapatnam in Andhra Pradesh and Delhi are very much on. We are working on them and the dates will be announced shortly. Each of these public meetings will have prominent leaders from the respective States who would be joining the BRS and strengthening the party’s foundations,” a party general secretary was quoted as saying.
Two more public meetings are expected to be held in Odisha and Karnataka in April and May, followed by another in Chhattisgarh. As previously announced, BRS leaders are expected to campaign for the JD(S) in Karnataka for the May Assembly elections. Meanwhile, the BRS may debut in forthcoming Assembly elections in neighbouring Karnataka.
BRS Party President and Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao had already stated that party leaders, including himself, would campaign on behalf of the JD(S) led by former Prime Minister HD Devegowda and Karnataka former Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy during the Karnataka polls, particularly in Telugu-speaking constituencies. According to sources, the party may contest from more than a dozen seats in the Kalyana Karnataka region bordering Telangana and Andhra Pradesh.
